<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The US team fund is something I really believe
in. It takes a lot of $$ to send our boys abroad like that, and what we
generally get in donations is barely a drop in the bucket.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had a talk with Cameron and we are going to see
what we can do, hopefully we can generate some funds somehow. Our team needs
support. It's important to note that teams from a lot of other countries get a
good deal of support, and we sort of pale by comparison. Likewise, pattern in
general in other countries is much more suported by the general population, in
the US it's still just toy planes. While true, it's like saying professional
football is just a game. </FONT></DIV>

contest April 21-22 (looks BIG)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi fellow pattern addicts and future pattern
competitors! <BR><BR>I want to invite ALL of you to the GMA contest on
April 21-22, held at the GMA field in Ball Ground, Ga. just north of
Atlanta. The initial head count looks pretty good, so this may be one for
the books. My ace scorekeeper (Melissa) will be doing the scoring, so you
know you'll get your scores practically before you have time to put your
transmitter back in the case. <BR><BR>The field will be open for practice
starting noon Friday, so come on down and get some practice and feedback.
if any new pilots are interested, I'll hold a seminar on Friday afternoon,
so don't be intimidated if you've never done it before. You'll know
exactly what to expect and exactly what to do. The flying part is up to
you, however. If you've been toying with the idea of flying in a pattern
contest, this is the perfect opportunity to get your feet wet. I will be
actively seeking to hook up new pilots with those more experienced, if
wanted. <BR><BR>Registration will begin on Friday, so please get that part
done early if you can. The sooner we get that part done, the sooner we can
start flying Saturday! The official pilot's meeting will be at 8:30am on
Saturday morning, April 21. The plan is 6 rounds, weather and time
permitting. FAI will fly P and F. One F round WILL count. So get to
practicing those Ss and rollers!! <BR><BR>We have strong rumors that a few
top pilots will be in attendance. The Shulman brothers, Bryan Hebert,
possibly Dave Lockhart to name a few. (Not putting you on the spot
guys....much...LOL) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chris Hinson of Extreme Flight has generously
offer a full Vanquish package, plane, motor and controller so that will be
one of the many extras for a prize or raffle for the world team (not sure
yet). Also we are working to get some World team merchandise on hand as
well. We should have a strong showing from suppliers so it should be a
great opportunity to check out some new stuff.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>One note to consider: I STRONGLY advise you to ignore the weather
forecast unless a hurricane is over our head. April in Ga is pretty wild.
Those in attendance last year know what I mean. It could do anything, but
over the course of the weekend, we will get the rounds in if at all
possible. We're having a warm early spring so who knows. Last year you'd
swear by the forecast we couldn't have flown, yet we got all 6 rounds in.
So don't fret, make the drive!! (or flight?) <BR><BR>I have a flyer posted
here: <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Feel free to contact me for any additional info you may need. My
cell # is on my site, (<A
href="http://www.customairframes.com">www.customairframes.com</A>) and my
email addy is <A href="mailto:kerlock@comcast.net"><FONT
color=#00265e>kerlock@comcast.net</FONT></A> <BR><BR>Come on out and let's
break some attendance records!!!! This is a good chance to make a
statement: pattern is alive and well, but only if you come fly it!!! you
guys from the Carolinas and anywhere within driving distance need to come
down for a visit, it should be quite a good time. I promise we will
deliver a world class event, and one you won't soon forget.</DIV>
